If 6 men working together can complete 50 identical tasks in 4 hours then how many such identical tasks can be completed if 10 men are working together for 6 hours?

A. 20
B. 25
C. 125
D. 60
M1*D1*W2 = M2*D2*W1
Where, M – number of people working
D – time of work
W – number of tasks or work
6*4*W2 = 10*6*50
W2 = 125 tasks

P works twice as fast as Q. If Q alone can complete a work in 12 days, P and Q can finish the work in________days

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P in 1 day = 2 × (1/12) = 1/6
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/12 + 1/6 = ¼
=> P and Q can finish the work in 4 days

P works twice as fast as Q. If Q alone can complete a work in 12 days, P and Q can finish the work in________days Read More »

P is 30% more efficient than Q. P can complete a work in 23 days. If P and Q work together, how much time will it take to complete the same work?

A. 9
B. 11
C. 23
D. 13
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/23
Let work done by Q in 1 day = q
q × (130/100) = 1/23
=> q = 100/(23×130) = 10/(23×13)
Work done by P and Q in 1 day = 1/23 + 10/(23×13) = 23/(23×13)= 1/13
=> P and Q together can do the work in 13 days

6 men and 8 women can complete a work in 10 days. 26 men and 48 women can finish the same work in 2 days. 15 men and 20 women can do the same work in_______days.

A. 4 days
B. 6 days
C. 2 days
D. 8 days
Let work done by 1 man in 1 day = m and work done by 1 woman in 1 day = b
Work done by 6 men and 8 women in 1 day = 1/10
=> 6m + 8b = 1/10
=> 60m + 80b = 1 — (1)
Work done by 26 men and 48 women in 1 day = 1/2
=> 26m + 48b = ½
=> 52m + 96b = 1— (2)
Solving equation 1 and equation 2. We get m = 1/100 and b = 1/200
Work done by 15 men and 20 women in 1 day
= 15/100 + 20/200 =1/4
=> Time taken by 15 men and 20 women in doing the work = 4 days

6 men and 8 women can complete a work in 10 days. 26 men and 48 women can finish the same work in 2 days. 15 men and 20 women can do the same work in_______days. Read More »

Part of work done by 1 man in a day = 1/m Part of work done by 1 woman in a day
= 1/w (2/m)+(12/w) = (1/4) (4/m)+(6/w) = (1/5) Solving,
1/m = 1/40 ,1/w = 1/60 (1/m)+(1/w) = 5/120 = 1/24
